The clouds were zooming across the horizon this morning shifting the light from brief moments of sunshine to dark moody clouds and all the tones and textures in between. By now, the clouds have set in overhead…

Sydney's been turning it on this whole Autumn and it's yet another sensational day out there today. How many perfect days are we up to this autumn already? Ive lost count! Today the sun's out, the wind is light and every bit…

The south swell is trucking past Sydney this morning and there's plenty of waves about, especially on the beaches exposed to a little more south swell. It's 3ft, with a well spaced-out 5ft set every 10 minutes or so...

Sun's out, wind's offshore and the south swell is on the rise. First look didn't reveal much change in size from yesterday, but the tide's on it's way back in and the new south swell is starting to show. I saw a handful…

It's a cool and crisp Monday morning out there! It was 10 degrees when I stepped outside at 6:15 and that sou-westerly wind was biting at every bit of exposed skin; a not-so-gentle reminder that winter is a matter of weeks…

We're on again! Yep, waves a plenty, sunshine and offshore winds. It's been a continuously running theme this whole autumn. This morning there's a steady stream of 3 footers out of the east groomed clean by a light…

The wind has angled around to the south but the east swell just keeps rolling in. We're on a stellar run of waves and judging by the crowds this morning, 5 days of super fun surf must be taking their toll on arms…

How are the arms feeling? Mine are well and truely cooked after a big couple of days of surfing. From double overhead on Saturday morning to cooking kegs at lunchtime it's been a feast of quality waves for the last…

A lot can happen in 24 hours! Yesterday, with rain set in and an onshore sou-easter, I took the morning off shooting and went surfing. In the hour and a half I was in the water, the waves doubled in size and became…

The east swell is slowly inching up a notch or two. It's 2ft this morning with the odd bigger one and the forecast trajectory is looking positive. I spent the morning dodging heaving 1 footers on a shallow sandbank…

As the adage goes, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning and today we had a quick blast of rich colour overhead as the sun fought its way through the clouds. There's rain afoot but it hasn't found…

Finally something different to talk about on the weather front. This week, the Bureau's forecast has showers from Tuesday through to Thursday. It's going to feel a bit weird walking out the door without that beautiful autumn…

Depending on which end of the beach you're at, it's either dead flat or 1 foot with the odd 2 footer. Down south is like a lake, the perfect morning for the daily pilgrimage across Cabbage Tree Bay to Shelly Beach. If surfing's…

Sunset, moonrise. Moonset, sunrise. It's a cycle that's on repeat with the moon slipping out of time with the sun by an hour every turn of the earth. As surfers, we're intrinsically connected to the moon by the shift of the…

Oh boy, how beautiful is that autumn light! Add a little smoke haze to the soft light of autumn and the morning gets those dreamy Californian/Hollywood vibes to it. Don't panic though, the haze is from a series of hazard

Lovely morning out there. You know the story by now... cool crisp air, light offshore, warm sunshine, etc, etc. It's autumn as you've come to know.

This week has been text book Autumn. It's that combination of cool air and warm sunshine that makes it my favourite time of the year. Add consistent light offshore winds and a steady stream of swell from the east and south…

Yep, it’s another day of glorious warm autumn sunshine out there. The sun's out and the water's clear and warm, I even hear there's a spike of south swell. It's not showing up on our stretch of sand, maybe a beach or…
